According to a government decision, penalty amounts imposed on smokers will be increased 100-fold. This decision, aimed at protecting public health, will have serious financial consequences for non-compliant citizens. As part of an anti-smoking campaign, it is noted that individuals who smoke in prohibited areas will face severe penalties.
Administrative fines for smoking in public areas in Turkey will be increased 100-fold. Individuals who fail to comply with regulations in hospitals, schools, enclosed workplaces and public transport vehicles will face much heavier financial penalties.
If you smoke in these banned areas, the penalty amount you will soon be required to pay will increase dramatically. The government is implementing this strict increase believing that current penalties are not deterrent; for this reason, smoking at your workplace, in a hospital or on public transport will become much more expensive.
